Precision fidelity C7 preamp


 Is anyone able to refurbish this? What would be good replacement tubes? They now  have  Sylvanias in the phono section( I replaced GE's).

sad news: The unit is now non- functional . I powered it up and instead of a tube blowing, sharp static like  pops are now emitted from the circuit board(like a light bulb blowing up). There also is a strange glow under the circuit board. The music still plays in stereo!
I ran the unit flat out and controlled the volume from the powered speakers. I had a deep soundstage but i dealt with some tube noise.

Fix it? ..Replace it with a Bellari?; I fi?, Schitt?..some other unit?
Sell It as is ?
